1. Questions in Pentagon presser today about the Oklahoma Guard. I think this is state of the law.

Title 32 establishes the National Guard.

32 USC § 110 Regulations, provides: The President shall prescribe regulations, and issue orders, necessary to organize, discipline, and

2. govern the National Guard."

32 USC 903 provides that the Secretary of Defense has the power to prescribe regulations related to the National Guards "homeland defense" activities.

3. 10 USC § 10105 provides that the Army National Guard is the reserve component of the Army.

10 U.S.C. § 12102(b) provides:
Except as otherwise provided by law, the Secretary concerned shall prescribe physical, mental, moral, professional, and age qualifications for the

4. enlistment of persons as Reserves of the armed forces under his jurisdiction.

So that nitwit brigadier will likely get a direct order from the Secretary of the Army telling him to shape up or he will face discipline for disobeying a direct order.

5. And for the Governor and State of Oklahoma:

32 U.S. Code § 108 - Forfeiture of Federal benefits. If, within a time fixed by the President, a State fails to comply with a requirement of this title, or a regulation prescribed under this title,

6. the National Guard of that State is barred, in whole or in part, as the President may prescribe, from receiving money or any other aid, benefit, or privilege authorized by law.
